📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added HUN than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
363 hedge funds hold HUN right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
📶
Steady growth — +6% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

■ 17% medium
■ 22% new

💰
Value +32% but shares only +6% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +32%, but actual share count only changed +6%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈

69 → 63 → 62 → 70 → 82 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 63 → 62 → 70 → 82. A growing number of institutions are discovering HUN each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

■ 72% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 21% new
Entry-cohort mix of 384 holders: 276 (72%) are 2+ year veterans, 27 entered 1–2 years ago, and 81 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 45% AUM from top-100 funds
45% from top-100 AUM funds
50 of 360 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 45% of total institutional value in HUN. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
